Game in 10: Maple Leafs stage epic comeback in Montreal led by Joseph Woll, balanced scoring

Your game in 10:

1. The Leafs weren’t ready to match Montreal’s pace early in the game. Multiple times in the first four or five minutes, they got beat by the Habs down the ice for dangerous scoring situations, forcing Joseph Woll to be sharp early and leading to the first penalty (on Philippe Myers) and goal against.

These weren’t turnovers up the ice leading to odd-man situations against; on routine breakouts, the Leafs were just letting Montreal forwards (and activating defensemen) fly through the neutral zone and beat them down the ice by not moving their feet or fighting to stay above their check.
